Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has been killed in a car crash, according to reports.

According to a report in the Spanish newspaper Marca, the 28-year-old Portugal international was in an accident in the Zamora province. 

He was reportedly travelling with his brother Andre, who was also killed, when the car came off the road and was engulfed in flames.

The Portuguese national football team have since said they are “devastated” by his death, adding that he “was not only a fantastic player with almost 50 caps for the national team, but also an extraordinary person who was respected by all his teammates and opponents”.
